In this article we will go over how the Holiday Master designates time periods that should be considered as “Holiday Hours” when worked by an employee.
Premium pay factors or rates can be applied when applicable and Holiday time periods can be specified by Location.
Hours Worked during the Holiday time periods will display in the Holiday column on reports and will be applied under the Holiday Earning Code if using the Vault payroll application.

How to Create the Holiday Master
To Create the Holiday Master:
1. Select Holiday Master from the Masters menu.
2. Click New.
3. Enter Holiday
4. Uncheck the Default Box if you do NOT want this Holiday to automatically apply when any new Locations are created.
5. Select Holiday Level.
Note: Levels are used in conjunction with the Employee Master to create groups of employees where holiday benefits may be applied differently.
If all employees must be assigned a Holiday None should be left as the Default.
6. Select Date From and To.
NOTE: Holidays are typically created for a 24-hour period commencing 00:00 (midnight) of the first day to 00:00 (midnight) of the second day.
7. Enter FACTOR or RATE for billing/payroll.
Important: If you leave the factor/rate at 0, it will default to the holiday factor/rate at the Post Master.

If you select YES then the holiday will be assigned to all existing Locations. They may be edited/removed at the applicable Locations.
If you select NO, the holiday must be manually assigned at the applicable Locations.
NOTE: For Holidays to be automatically assigned to any new Locations, the Default Box must be checked. (See Step 4 above)
